Trace elements (Ag, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Pb, V, Zn) and ammonia were measured in pore waters extracted from sediments collected in Green Sands Beach (Mare Island, San Francisco, CA) using peepers and whole-core squeezers. Samples were size-fractionated, either by using 0.45 and 0.1 μm polycarbonate filters (whole-core squeezers), or by passive filtration using peepers with 0.45 μm and 3000 MWCO (3 kDa) membranes. Results indicate that the distribution profiles of pore water constituents in the traditionally defined total dissolved fraction (CTD = NH 4 + were similar to the ones obtained for CTD. Profiles for the small-sized dissolved fraction (CSSD = |
